I’m not at all prepared for the “upcoming exhibit”:http://revjim.net/2006/08/08/upcoming-exhibit-sat-sept-16th-7pm/. I need 3 photographs printed, matted, and framed, at the very least. I still haven’t finished “picking them out”:http://revjim.net/2006/08/09/image-selection-for-exhibit-and-kera-art-mug/ let alone going through the motions of getting them here.
I really wanted to have some promotional cards made (with a nice little coupon code on the back) to hand out at the exhibit, and get my website and photoblog up and fully functioning before then so that the increased exposure I get from an event like this doesn’t just fall through the cracks. I had even thought there’d be a remote chance that “Skins”:http://revjim.net/2006/03/24/skins-three-apples-on-curved-back/ might be ready to view by then.
As “I mentioned”:http://razormaid.livejournal.com/143827.html?thread=968147#t968147 to Erica earlier today, there are so many things I want to get done, but I’m just so bogged down with things that I feel I have to do that I can’t even consider anything else. Sometimes it gets to the point where I feel like it might just be easier to throw away everything I have — friends, connections, photographs, writing, journals, *everything* — and start all over again with a new name and absolutely no obligations to anyone anywhere.
If I can manage to stop “wasting my time on the impossible”:http://revjim.net/2006/08/23/menial-tasks/, that’ll make a big difference in the amount of time I have to do what I have to do so I can get to what I want to do.
If you’re of the praying, finger-crossing, chanting, meditating, energy-sending, or star wishing types, I could really use some focus, confidence, clear-thought and determination over the next few weeks. And encouragement — written, verbal, physical or otherwise — is always helpful.
